It is an independent, self-financed, legally constituted organisation that represents and serves interests of members in a wide array of matters affecting their viability and competitiveness. CZI has four regional chamber offices in Mashonaland, Matebeleland, Midlands, and Manicaland, which serve as reference points for industry in international business community.  CZI promotes active business in Zimbabwe to achieve a minimally regulated business environment, in which development is possible.

The CZI’s Economic Affairs and Taxation Committee has called for a consistent and holistic implementation of economic policies and programmes to achieve the boost in production and the required turnaround of the economy. In its recent meeting, the committee noted that the lack of policy consistency and the quick fix mentality’ would not work. The committee singled out confidence as one of the major issues with a strong bearing to Zimbabwe’s economic recovery. There is need for the restoration of confidence through consistent implementation of proper policies. more
